Justice League Dark
 
The next DC Animated film following The Killing Joke is apparently based on the Justice League Dark Comic: http://comicbook.com/2016/06/07/just...nimated-movie/

Quote:

Following in the footsteps of DC Entertainment’s animated recreation of the iconic The Killing Joke storyline, the company is taking on one of their lesser known properties for their next endeavor.

While it hasn’t been officially announced, we now know that their next animated film will be Justice League Dark, via the British Board of Film Classification (bbfc) website. In their listing for Batman: The Killing Joke, the additional material section includes “A Sneak Peak at Justice League Dark”.

Justice League Dark was introduced as part of DC’s New 52 initiative and featured a roster comprised of John Constantine, Zatanna, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, Enchantress, and Shade the Changing Man. The team was meant to be a Justice League-like group that focused on Supernatural and Magical threats, but it wasn’t actually related to the league in any way. In fact, they really don’t want to be a team at all, but they end up grouping together for the greater good.

Writer Peter Milligan said at the time (via Newsarama): “It was the “dark” bit that really appealed to me. The idea of taking these characters and this kind of story into some dark places. That doesn’t always or necessarily mean supernatural black magic dark. It can mean emotionally dark. A messed up confused kind of dark. The basic screwed up human condition transplanted onto a superhero/supernatural comic.”

DC has been adept at translating some of these darker concepts into animated films, and I'm eager to see what they do with Justice League Dark, and what exact storyline they go with.

And here I thought this would be about Guillermo's proposed movie that will never happen. :tlol:

I love Matt Ryan.

Check him out in "Flypaper", he's amazing.

These DC animated DVD movies have been going on for an entire decade back in 2006. "Superman Doomsday" was the very first one of these comic book movie adaptions they ever did.

At the time people were disappointed because people were too used to the DCAU Timmverse (Justice League Unlimited aired its final season in 2006), so its hard to believe these DC animated comic book movies are still going.

I'll be shocked and appalled if DC doesn't reprise Matt Ryan to voice Constantine.

It's an obvious choice.

TurtleTitan97 07-26-2016 12:00 PM

Sneak peek was leaked online. Matt Ryan is voicing Constantine

**** yes thank you DC for letting Matt Ryan voice Constantine Day 1 Purchase

CyberCubed 07-26-2016 12:52 PM

I always found the name "Justice League Dark" to be lame. What's next, "Justice League Light Bright?"

TurtleTitan97 07-26-2016 12:59 PM

Literally no one cares.

Xiewin 07-29-2016 03:27 PM

Looked interesting enough for me to give it a watch when it comes out.
That is until I saw batman in the film.

No more batman please.

Doug Liman left the solo Gambit movie to direct this.

So he went from one project that isn't really happening to another project that isn't really happening? :tlol:

Autbot_Benz 08-24-2016 02:15 PM

so we get an animated Justice League dark and now a live action JLD. I hope Matt Ryan gets to play him in the live action movie.

I think he's a great director, He's done The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Edge of Tomorrow.

It'll be interesting to see how he deals with the supernatural aspect of this team, and this would be his first Superhero movie.

Matt Ryan Interview. apparently Constantine doesn't smoke at all in this movie. Which is bs because that is one his main things is being a chain smoker.

It's just one of those things that baffles me. With movies, you have to look at the source material and ask...

* You're doing a Terminator movie, but you can't show any blood. Should the movie be made? F*ck no.

* You're doing a Mortal Kombat movie, but you can't show any fatalities. Should the movie be made? F*ck no.

* You're making an Assassin's Creed movie, but you can't really show any assassins assassinating people. Should the movie be made? F*ck no.

* You're making a Ninja Turtles movie, but you can't show them using their weapons. Should the movie be made? F*ck no.

* You're making a movie with Constantine, but you can't show him smoking at all. Should the movie be made? No, probably not.

But they do it anyway. Over and over again.

Wait... so it's R-rated and Constantine can't smoke? Huh?

DC logic...

TheSkeletonMan939 11-15-2016 07:22 PM

For some reason parents (i.e. moms) draw the line at smoking. Violence? No biggie. Boobies? Eh, he'll see them one day anyway. Smoking? I DON'T WANT MY KID HAVING ROLE MODELS WHO SMOKE, BAN THEM!

CyberCubed 11-15-2016 08:38 PM

Which is weird as some of these past DC movies mention sex and show blatant cleavage and almost nudity on some of its female characters.

Hell the last movie had Batgirl having sex with Batman on a rooftop.

Autbot_Benz 11-16-2016 10:04 PM

here is the cover for the blu ray

really pissed Batman is front and center. John Constantine should be front and center he is the leader of the group

Cure 11-17-2016 12:26 AM

Marketing, man. Batman sells; Constantine does not.

CyberCubed 11-17-2016 12:36 AM

They're still using those awful New 52 designs in this movie? Man I hope they kill off this Superman like the comics did and they bring back classic Superman.

Wasn't George Miller wanting to direct a live-action movie of this at one point?

Who even knows anymore.

Splinter the boss 11-18-2016 03:04 PM

will it be in theaters?

CyberCubed 11-18-2016 03:13 PM

No, its DC animated DTV movies. These have been going on since 2006, 10 years ago, and they've made over 20+ of these by now.

The Killing Joke made it to theatres though, which is probably why they asked. That only made it because it was adapting the most popular and arguably best Joker comic ever written. JLD will be the usual DTV fair.

Splinter the boss 11-21-2016 02:22 PM

Thanks! The rest is for the sake of characters.

Autbot_Benz 01-24-2017 03:23 PM

Its out on Digital today. During a Panel with the actors and creators it is true Constantine doesn't smoke because they didn't know the movie was going to be rated R when they finished it. Sigh that is Constantine's main Characteristic.

The main focus of this movie was John Constantine and Zatanna and their relationship with each other as well. So if you're gonna go in expecting a Swamp Thing or Etrigon show, you will be a bit disappointed (but they did have their fair share of spotlight). To the people worried that "oh whys batman with them and how he will lead"...he doesnt! He does NOT play that big of a role in this movie, so if you were worried, don't be! Batman is basically the audience, he is just thrown into this battle against magic and he sees all this weird stuff and tries to comprehend it and follow it like the audience. He basically takes a backseat while Constantine leads the team.

I got this from the Arrow Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/arrow/comme..._the_upcoming/
